Can every PDF compress to 500KB?
Most text-based PDFs reach 500KB on the High setting. Heavily scanned image PDFs may need additional steps — split into smaller sections or reduce scan resolution before compressing.
Is the compressed file accepted on the official portal?
Yes. The output is a standard PDF with the same page structure, just smaller. Compatible with UGC, AICTE, state PSC, and university admission portals.
Does compression remove text or images?
No. Compression targets image metadata, redundant data, and re-encodes embedded images at lower DPI. Text and structure stay intact.
